Billy Martin was known for many things during his many tenures as Yankees manager. But in an upcoming interview, Reggie Jackson reveals that Martin, who guided the Yankees to a world championship in 1977, used racial and anti-Semetic slurs when Jackson played for him.

“I never had an understanding of Billy Martin,” Jackson, now a Yankees executive, said in the interview with Bob Costas, scheduled to be broadcast Monday night on the MLB Network. “I did not accept the way he managed me. I did not accept the way he managed [pitcher] Ken Holtzman. I thought there was anti-Semitism there. . . . I couldn’t accept that. I couldn’t accept the racial epithets in reference to players like Elliott Maddox or Billy Sample.

“There are players that played for him that would tell you that [he made racist or anti-Semitic comments about those players]. So there was an uneasiness, a knowledge about the person that I was very uncomfortable with. . . . I wasn’t his choice and he wanted to show George [Steinbrenner]. So that was kind of an oddity, a craziness that I never could follow, and I struggled to have respect for Billy as a person and had it reinforced with the anti-Semitism that I witnessed.”

The 65-year-old, who described himself as a “lost puppy for a long time and struggling to survive,” said Martin, who died in 1989, referred to him as “boy” during their infamous, nationally televised dugout confrontation at Fenway Park during the 1977 season.

“I was upset that he was taking me out of the game. I wondered what he was doing. I knew Billy was a sucker puncher, so I took my glasses off. I was trying to be alert. I was ready in case he would try to throw a punch. I think he was more putting on a show than anything else.

“He said to me, ‘I should show you what I’m gonna do,’ and I said, ‘Well, all the alcohol you’ve been drinking must be going to your brain.’

“Finally Fran Healy came in to the clubhouse from the outfield and said ‘Reggie, get dressed and change and go home. Because no matter what you do, whether he hits you first or you grab him, you’re gonna be wrong. So get dressed and go home. Get dressed and go home.’ … [It was the] smartest thing I was ever told to do and luckily one of the smarter things I did.”
